Seeing the sights, telling the stories, one spot at at time
A recap of my adventures in the month of June Winter has arrived in Sydney, and as I adjust to living in an old house (brrrr cold!) we had a busy month, with a nice long weekend in the middle (urgh sick) and three different …
Lake Titicaca was one of those places I had dreamed about going. A far off place I had learnt about through my schooling days, or maybe at university. The highest lake in the world? Sounds like a sight I need to see. I made it …
I like to be very prepared when I travel. Very prepared! I make lists, have thousands of mini bags and containers and literally think of everything. I have my travel essentials covered. If you are doing a big trip, say 4 weeks or longer, or …
A recap of my adventures in the month of May The temperatures are getting cooler and the days are getting shorter… But still some adventures were to be had in May! Read on for my monthly recap! RAINY WEEKEND UP THE COAST The world …
Everyone loves a llama. Sure they might spit and be a scary cousin to the camel, but they really are super cool. Ditto Alpacas. Before my month in South America I was like, “Oh, maybe I’ll see some Llamas? Might see one in the wild…” …
I love this shot! Taken on a beach in Koh Samoi, Thailand, at a typical beach party. The beach party scene is not really my thing. Not because I don’t like drinking and dancing, but the whole ‘drunken tourist in Thailand’ display really doesn’t sit …
Sydney’s Northern Beaches are an absolute dream destination for sunshine, beaches, surfers and swimming. The numerous suburbs that snake up the peninsula are designed for beach side living. I may sound a bit biased, but seeing as I live here now, I guess I can …
A recap of my adventures in the month of April What a month! There weren’t that many adventures to have as most of my April was consumed by moving… such a stressful experience. But it’s worth it to be in a house, (no longer an …
A recap of my adventures in the month of March This month had sunshine and rain, busy work days, long weekends and Birthdays, including mine! Here are some of the highlights from my favourite month of the year … #biased #birthday Read on! PLATFORM …
1. Eureka Sky Deck A great way to get a feel for the funky city of Melbourne is to take in the views at the Eureka Sky Deck 88. Take the lift (fastest in the southern hemisphere) to the eighty-eighth floor to get panoramic views …
I love buying souvenirs while I travel. However, my suitcase or backpack does not love when I buy things while I travel. It has been known for me to buy an extra bag while overseas, or enlist others to help me sit on and close …
You know that feeling when you feel out of your comfort zone, and doing something seems so daunting that you think you might pass? That thought crossed my mind as I started descending the stairs to the To Sua trench in Western Samoa. The ladder …
A recap of my adventures in the month of February February… the short month where work is back and craziness begins. So not as many adventures this month. Highlight was definitely seeing Queen with Adam Lambert, what a great show! Read on! SYDNEY DAY OUT …
This was the view from our lagoon fale when I checked in at Le Vasa resort in Western Samoa. What an amazing view to great me as I stepped onto our balcony, which was right on the edge of this lagoon. A perfect way to …
We all know that some travellers (eg: me) like to take photographs of random things while on the road exploring. Some of the more obscure things people might like are coffee cups, doorways and lamp posts. I also cannot pass up an opportunity to snap …
A recap of my adventures in the month of January January is my holiday month! Nearly all of the month on holidays… perfect time for relaxing, trips away, beach days and rest. As seen below! Read on! BEACH TRIPS I spent many of …
If you are visiting Peru I highly recommend visiting Huacachina. Pronounced Wah-Ka-Cheena, this amazing oasis town is in the middle of a vast network of sand dunes. And sand dunes means two things – dune buggy rides and sand boarding! Even though I had spent …
On my recent trip to South America I visited Chile’s Atacama Desert and especially the Valley of the Moon, or as the locals say “Valle de la Luna”. We had an organised tour arranged for the valley, which finished with sunset. After driving around the …
A recap of my adventures in the month of December Well what a busy month! Despite having a very busy end of year with work, and a severe flare up of rashes and bites (Thank you South America) I still managed to cram in …
You don’t really know what to expect at 5000m altitude. I certainly didn’t expect to come across an active sulfur area, complete with roaring geysers. But that is what we found as we climbed to the highest altitude I have ever reached, in the altiplano …
